Abstract

One embodiment of the invention provides a disk-to-tape storage system including a front-end portion and a hack-end portion. The front-end portion ha, a first interface for receiving storage commands and data over a network from an application performing a backup or archive operation. The received storage commands conform to a standardised command format. The back-end portion has a second interface for transmitting storage commands and the received data for storage in a tape library. The disk-to-tape storage system is operable to transform the received storage commands from the standardised command format into an appropriate format for the transmitted storage commands so as to maintain direct accessibility by the application of the received data as stored in the tape library.
